Meet the Beats team at Elastic{ON} 2017

The Beats team is gathering in San Francisco to participate to the Elastic{ON} conference (Mar 7 - Mar 9). If you are there as well, just drop by the AMA booth to ask questions, to tell us about how you are using Beats or just to share the feedback with us. There are three talks about Beats:

Filebeat modules: Improve error handling in case of missing plugins

Some of the existing Filebeat modules depend on one or more Elasticsearch Ingest node plugins (ingest-geoip and/or ingest-user-agent). We’ve now improved the error messages Filebeat displays in case one of the required plugins are not available.

The way it works is that the modules declare which plugins are required in their manifest.yml file and Filebeat queries the /_nodes/ingest API to check that they are available.
